[ Charlie's seated on the beach again, holding a remote control in one hand while some sort of quadcopter/car thing sits nearby. She's installing batteries and pressing switches on the remote into the copter,frowning just a bit and looking over directions. ]

...shoulda paid attention to the guy I bought this from.

[ Oh, well. She turns again to address the MID, smiling a bit. ]

When I was eleven years old, I lived with my grandparents. At one point, I got really sick and had to stay in bed for a good, long while. A few weeks, I think. My grandfather had this habit of telling me a joke when I was feeling miserable. It was always the same joke, but it made me laugh every time.


I just remembered it and wanted to know if anyone else had a better one.

[ This may be a vague challenge towards one Nathan Drake. And Charlie is bored. ]

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says: ‘What the hell was that all about?’


[ She shrugs and smirks some, rolling her eyes a tad. ]

Stupid, I know. But I love it. Let's hear another one.

As humor goes, I'd say he snailed it.

Thank you.

It was that or ask how the hell the snail knocked in the first place.

[ The responses went quiet for a moment, before he finally admitted. ]

I've got nothing either, except to wonder that my first thought was about the snail knocking, rather than the snail talking.

[ And the pun, of course. ]

[ It was a joke and part of Adrien felt asinine for asking these questions because ... it was a joke!

But for whatever reason he found himself typing back. ]


I was going to say it backed it's shell into the door but then I realized that would have taken it two days between knocks.

An eternal question of the universe I suppose. How do snails knock on doors?
